@katakisLives/wafi0123 : batteries deliver roughly the same voltage and current across their entire discharge range; capacitors drop in voltage as they discharge. Motor controllers usually only deliver up to the present battery voltage, and motors run at a speed proportional to the voltage. Imagine only being able to go at half the speed when your storage system is half full! That's the problem with ultracapacitors.

wat is the defferance a batt and a capacitor?

[katakisLives]

A few years ago they were talking about having super capacitors instead of batteries! they charge much faster, I wonder what happened about that?

Yes electric motors are more efficient, but this one is probably still using a gearbox. The best way to go, is to have in wheel motors. Then we don't lose so much energy in the gear box. But a very good start none the less. I like it, looks sweet. But you have all that flat roof to put sliver cell solar panels on, then you could recharge the battery while away from home.

Too much transistors....... too much electronica.... Look like a" Mini server!!!!!

Also, electric motors are typically 5 times more efficient than petrol motors, reducing fossil fuel consumption by 80% at least even with the use of coal fired power stations.

Worst case scenario is that the fuel that the cars would have otherwise used is burned in a powerstation. Large generators are more efficient and therefore less energy is used overall. It will also have the added benefit of removing pollution from cities.

Some concerns are currently being expressed re nano auto technologies. They are thought to be as dodgy as asbestos, so wait & see re final vedits in this repect.
